Review: This is a delicious CD of ditties on the subject of, well, just about every sport known to our great grandparents - cycling, rugger, boating, golf, billiards, soccer ... and huntin’, shootin’ and fishin’. Arthur Conan Doyle is represented as the author of ‘A Hunting Morning’, from his 1898 book Songs of Action. Listening to Ian Partridge, Peter Savidge and the Song & Supper Club, with Jennifer Partridge on piano, is like attending a really good smoking concert at an Edwardian country house - gorgeous! The CD is available at major record stores or direct from the publishers.
